SLMC Leader and Justice Minister Rauff Hakeem, addressing a meeting at the Main Street in Kalmunai during the weekend said, it was important to have a nominee of the SLMC on the PSC, especially in light of the 13th Amendment, which was all about the rights of the minorities. He said his Party was a majority representative of the Muslim community.

Hakeem said it was a ‘grave injustice’ meted out to his Party that the government had not nominated a member from his Party to the PSC.

It is also paramount that the Muslim community is represented in such a Committee, which also dealt with minority issues, he said, adding that the international community would doubt the government’s sincerity in a proposed solution.He alleged that the government was amending the 13th Amendment to satisfy some forces within the government. He said the 13th Amendment was guided by forces within the government.CT
